Rohit Sharma No More Captain of Mumbai Indians After Long Time
The Mumbai Indians have named Hardik Pandya as their captain for the 2024 IPL season, bringing an end to the illustrious 10-year tenure of Rohit Sharma at the team. With the announcement of all-rounder Hardik Pandya as their captain for the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the Mumbai Indians put an end to any conjecture on their leadership.
In the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai Indians became the 5 times IPL Season Champion. Midway through the 2013 IPL, Ricky Ponting was replaced as captain of MI by Rohit. At the time, the squad had not yet taken home an IPL trophy and was not among the top contenders for the championship. However, Rohit managed to guide them to victory in the season finale, defeating the Chennai Super Kings.
Rohit Sharma Remarkable Journey As Captain of Mumbai Indians
Rohit has led the Mumbai Paltan to remarkable success throughout his time as captain. In the history of the IPL, Rohit and the venerable MS Dhoni are tied for the most successful captaincy. The seasoned gloveman led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL even after he gave up his leadership in international cricket. Rohit Sharma led Team India, led by Virat Kohli, to the 2023 One Day International (ODI) World Cup final.
IPL Career of Rohit Sharma
With 6211 runs, he is the fourth-highest run scorer in IPL history. Of them, 3986 came while he was captain of MI, scoring at a 129.37 SR across 157 innings with 25 fifty-score runs. After Virat Kohli's 4994 runs and MS Dhoni's 4660, Rohit's total is the third-highest among IPL leaders. But in the IPL, his legacy as MI's captain will most likely be what makes him stand out.
